We, ever the fun couple, have become members of Weight Watchers. In the ultimate stress-test of a marriage, Natalie - a defrocked WW lifer - has been towing my formerly-svelte carcass to meetings for the past 10 Wednesdays. And we're scheduled for more.

Weight Watchers is famous, with chapters meeting in every church basement from Fairfield County to Uganda. Its technique seems to involve a distracting, intricate system for measuring your daily food intake, plus a morale-boosting group to applaud your successes or sympathize when you fall off the wagon.
